Compass Point Coffee

I cannot express fully how amazing this coffee shop is, but I'll give it my best, because they deserve it! If you are looking into being more conscious of your spending and pushing towards shopping small businesses/locally, Compass Point coffee is the perfect place to support. They believe in community and it shows.

I went in to Compass today for the first time, and was delighted to find that they serve thoughtfully roasted and brewed espresso! There are a lot of coffee shops in Pittsburgh, but only a few that serve really good and interesting espresso (De Fer, Red Hawk, and Pre-Amp head that list for me).

So happy to finally try this spot today! A huge bonus that they roast their own beans - you could tell (and smell) the difference with first sip. The owner, Eric, was great and helped us both find a drink we loved. I was especially fond of the Aerocano - their version of a nitro cold brew / americano.

If Millvale’s roads were half as good as the coffee at Compass Point, none of us would know what a 4 wheel alignment costs. They roast on site — and you can taste it. Not “coffee-inspired beverage.” Actual coffee. Bold. Rich. The kind that makes you question why you ever settled for drive-thru bean water.
